The one cleared from Walcott was just ridiculous, not sure how Martin did that. The other ‘clearances’ were down to bad finishing if that makes sense. They should never have been allowed to happen, Arsenal should have buried them – rather than spectacular defending…

Now now, Matt. Let’s not get all Alexi Lalas on us! It was horrendous defending, that required Mertesacker to deal with it. Let’s be fair, he dilly dallied on the ball in his own box and got caught. It should never have happened.

Walcott is on fire. I have been saying this for a few seasons now that he’s legit. Hopefully he can stay fit. Would like to see and England offensive four of Walcott, Johnson, Rooney and Gerrard. Hopefully we’ll see this next summer. But knowing Capello he’ll take SWP…

I don’t have a huge problem with DeRo winning MVP, but he seems more of a fantasy sports MVP than a true MVP. I’m not saying he’s not a good player, or teams don’t win more when he’s around, but I just don’t know if he deserved it this year.

I saw that, and really the only problem I have with this is that DC didn’t make the playoffs. To be the most valuable player you would think that you would have been able to lead your team to playoffs. To be fair to DeRo when he finally moved to DC, they had already dug themselves into a pretty big hole.
